Thanks for that - (I lost or gained 5 years somewhere or just got a crap memory?!).
I went to loads of gigs in those days (post 1974) including flying burritos, little feat, santana etc & I can remember who I saw & where (more or less) but have lost track of when - location sticks better than dates! Have never seen NRPS though & still might yet.
Also went to a gig at the Brixton Academy in 2000 that was Ken Kesey & the Magic Bus on a Merlin Tour..............
I see you are in Granada - I have always wanted to go to the Alhambra!
They played the Rainbow in 81 not 76
and i missed them

Were any of you there?
I saw them there twice but cannot remember exact dates etc
I did try to look up on the old dead website - have not tried this one yet but maybe someone out there can remember.
happy to catch up with deadheads in London or Oxford.
Also saw Ratdog at the Astoria (2 years runnin) much more recently......................
Anyone in the south of Spain and fancies a visit drop me a line.
I live in the province of Granada, south of the Sierra Nevada

Well if anyone is passing by or even trying a day out at the seaside (i'm a minutes walk away from the beach at Ramsgate) then drop me a line...
if you do get over try the local hooch Kentish Cider from Biddenden, you probably won't remember much of the afternoon

I know the area reasonably well as i am Sussex born .
A month ago we(English Deadheads) had a party not too far from Horsmonden to celebrate the anniversary of the summer of love, Top of the bill was Barry The Fish Melton. The weather was kind and a good time was had by all.

...er, sorta. It's the place to which we've traced the family's English provenance, and for those who haven't heard of it (or who made the mistake of blinking whilst driving thru), it's about seven miles due east of Tunbridge Wells.
Not a whole bunch to see there or thereabouts I guess, and it's why I was telling SSDD that if my peeps had stuck around, my Football League allegiance likely would've swung toward Brighton & Hove Albion...or maybe Gillingham.
Anyway, I've got aims on getting over there for an up-close inspection one of these days. Should suffice to occupy at least part of an afternoon, at any rate.
Location
Can't believe how badly I forget dates - I remember it was around the eclipse - did not attempt to go to cornwall.
Just after the Merlin gig I bucked up on one of my old deadhead friends & we went to a gig a few weeks later in a village hall near Taunton with Gene Parsons from the Byrds..............you never know what may happen next!
